ZTrek retains the right to make changes to these routes prior to the event in case of road closure or other hazard which requires changes to any of the routes. An email will be sent to registered participants if the routes are updated.

Lunch and post-ride festivities last until 3:00pm – be sure to start on time so you don’t miss lunch!

GPX files are provided for your convenience and are subject to change at any time before the ride. GPX files will be available June 2018. Help with the GPX files is available on the FAQ page.

This is a ride, not a race.

The roads are open to vehicular traffic; all rules of the road must be obeyed. Participants are responsible for their own safety.

Helmets are required to be worn at all times participants are on the bike.

Participants should ride in a safe and courteous manner; please stay to the right, except when passing.

You will be riding on country roads; assume there is gravel in every turn. Be aware that road surfaces vary and some sections of roads are rough.

If you purchased merchandise, you must pick it up at the event.

SAG Support

The organizers will provide Neutral Support, support & gear (SAG) vehicles. Participants who can’t make it back to the finish will be picked up, however, this is not an on-demand, door-to-door taxi service. As the ride takes place in rural areas, on-course medical assistance may take some time to arrive. Participants are highly encouraged to carry cell phones, spare tubes, and tools. Please be courteous, and aid your fellow participants as needed.
